From the Back Cover

#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan revisits and expands her classic novella Dark Descent, bringing to breathtaking new life her story of an immortal Carpathian hunter, a beautiful adventurer, and their dangerous journey toward an unforeseen destiny and an undying love.

In a cave of mystery and wonder deep in the Carpathian Mountains, bodyguard Joie Sanders encounters a most remarkable being. Proud, strong, immortal, he is called Traian—an ageless hunter locked in a life-and-death battle with enemy vampires—and he will be her salvation in a labyrinth protected by the ingenious traps of a mysterious ancient race. What awaits them in the darkness is not known, and each step could be their last—as their destined path leads them toward a fiery passion that will illuminate the perilous dark night.

Also includes the previously published Carpathian short story Dark Dream.

3.0 out of 5 stars A nice revisit - 3.5 stars October 30, 2012
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The book contains two previously released novellas by Christine Feehan. If you follow the series and haven't already read these stories, or if you desire to keep all books/stories within a series shelved together, than this book will be a good purchase. Being short stories, we aren't being bogged down with the Carpathian angst with the darkness in their souls.

If you are new to the series, this isn't a bad place to begin, although starting with Dark Prince is a better choice. But if you've read the stories and are looking for something new, you won't find it here, even with the enhancements made to Dark Descent.

Dark Descent was first published in the anthology "The Only One." It's the story of Traian & Joie Sanders and our first glimpse into the mage ice cave and the existence of the dragon line. In this story we learn that master vampires are working together to rule the world, a theme carried forward from here through the series. I believe it's also the first story since Dark Magic to bring Gary back into the picture and in this one he meets Gabrielle, Joie's researcher sister.

The author has enhanced the original story, although since it's been so long since I had read it, I couldn't point out to another exactly where. There were a number of times where I thought something might be new. Over half of the story still deals with finding Traian and escaping the cave.

What I really like about this particular story is that Joie is such a kick butt character, both mentally and physically. We don't just get a heroine but an enter family and you won't find a "victim" among them. Well at least we meet and interact with her brother and sister. We're teased a number of times that Traian is going to have a difficult time being accepted by their mother who does not like alpha males. Unfortunately we still don't get to meet the parents or see how that plays out.

Dark Dream was first published in the anthology "After Twilight" and tells the story of Falcon and Sara. Their story begins at the 64% area on a Kindle, so it's a shorter story than Dark Descent and it is published here in its original form.

Falcon is on his way home after spending so much time on his own doing what Prince Vladimir had requested; kill vampires to protect their race. He can't hang on any longer and wants to meet Mikhail before meeting the sun. One thousand years ago, while still recalling memories of emotions, he wrote a journal hoping his future lifemate would find it. He's about to be jumped by a number of men who want to rob him when Sara jumps in and tells him to run.

Sara watched her entire family killed by an ancient vampire who wants her and she's been hiding from him for the last 15 years. The only thing that kept her going was finding Falcon's journal and just knew it had been written for her. She's learned how to fight, always has an escape route, and her passion is children. She's been working to establish a safe place for 7 gifted kids from the street.

The journal and Sara's familiarity with Falcon as a person through it, is how the author is able to pull the two together in an accepted manner in a short story. What I really like about Sara is her compassion, both for Falcon and the children.

We get an added bonus with this story. The prologue gives us Prince Vladimir's difficult decision to ask warriors to do the unthinkable; live alone, away from all other Carpathians in order to hunt vampires and protect their race.

Read as ARC through Edelweiss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark Nights November 16, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although I've already read both stories in previous books, it was nice reading them again. Christine Feehan adds additional information and storyline to Traian and Joie's story, and she did such a great job. It gave me more insight into the both of them. In it's original version I thought it was too rushed for me to really enjoy it even though I did because it was a great one. But at the time if felt she could have added more details, and it would have made it better. And it did. Awesome writing, just like the first Dark Series that got me hooked in the first place. Falcon and Sara's story wasn't added too, but I enjoyed rereading it. Again, it was written well and the chemistry of both couples were spectacular and it was great seeing some of our old favorites.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bigger is Better October 31, 2012
By xfphile
Format:Mass Market Paperback
So, like many fans, I've been disappointed by CF's latest offerings, because it feels like they've lost that special 'something' that set her apart from most other romance writers on the planet. As such, I picked up 'Dark Nights' with considerable trepidation, because 'Dark Descent' was arguably my favorite Dark novel and I also greatly enjoyed 'Dark Dreamer.' I had also taken the time to re-read the initial novella printed in 'Dark Prince ('Dark' Carpathian Series).'

I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the additional 100 (or so) pages were wonderful fillers, fleshing out every character more fully, expounding on existing situations, and creating more unity between this book and the stories falling later in the Dark timeline -- all while seamlessly blending with the existing history and backstories.

After the (partial) success of 'Dark Storm (Carpathian),' which I did like, for the most part, this revision is an encouraging sign. I hope CF is able to maintain this level, because THIS is the author I first met, and the one who has made a loyal follower. There aren't many.
